Baylor transfer Kamauryn Morgan joins Mizzou Football

Mizzou football continues to build depth in the front seven of the defense after adding edge rusher Kamauryn Morgan from Baylor to the 2026 roster Tuesday.

Morgan spent one season in Waco, Texas, playing in five games and recording six tackles as a freshman. The linebacker is listed at 6-foot-5, 251 pounds, according to ESPN.

He entered the transfer portal as a four-star prospect back in December, originally committing to Virginia Tech before decommitting a week later.

Morgan attended South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas. He was considered a four-star prospect out of high school and was listed as the No. 29 overall edge in the nation and the 38th best player to come out of the incredibly talented state of Texas.

He marks the second transfer addition to coach Lavorn “Chop” Harbin’s defensive line in the past week, joining Northern Illinois defensive tackle Mark Hensley.

Morgan adds key edge rushing depth to defensive coordinator Corey Batoon’s defense and will likely see the field in a reserved capacity in 2026. He will likely slot into the depth chart behind returners Darris Smith and Langden Kitchen. But his size and pass-rushing ability make him a tantalizing option on the defensive line for his three remaining years of eligibility.
